Spanish term or phrase: desfamiliarización

This is talking about co-housing and assisted living for the elderly. I'm fairly positive it's talking about distancing the people in the facilities from dependency on their families. Any ideas on a concise and accurate way to paraphrase this? TIA!!

Mientras que en otros entornos europeos el cuidado en las viviendas colaborativas es provisto por recursos públicos y no suponen una alternativa excluyente a las residencias asistidas, en España esta alternativa supone una apuesta por la desfamiliarización y la desinstitucionalización de los cuidados hasta el final de la vida.

While in other European countries, care in co-housing is financed by public funds and do not represent an exclusionary alternative to assisted living facilities, in Spain, this alternative represents a shift towards defamiliarisation and deinstitutionalisation of end-of-life care.

English translation:reducing the burden on families

Explanation:
I find 'defamilisation' and 'deinstitutionalisation' too long and jarring. You have to stop reading and work out what they mean, which slows you down.

I also think you have to paraphrase more, and break the lengthy sentence into two.

This is a tentative translation, because I'm not sure if I've understood the point they're making:

'In other European countries, co-housing is publicly funded and is not an exclusionary alternative to assisted living. In Spain, it represents a shift towards reducing the burden on families and institutions for elderly care.'

'End of life' makes me think of hospice care, and I'm not sure that's the meaning here.

defamilization

Explanation:
There are many examples to be found:

Defamilialization and Carers according to Esping- Andersen

ResearchGate
https://www.researchgate.net › figure › Defamilialization...

Extensive defamilization, in effect, frees the family from extra care duties so that they can engage in paid employment.

This study evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of defamilization as a concept for analysing state-market-family relationships in comparative perspective.
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-social-po...

Analytically, the liberal British and US-American models have been said to have ‘market
defamilization’: this means that the market overwhelmingly provides family services for families in
place of extensive state supports (Esping-Andersen, 1999; Lohmann and Zagel, 2015).

The beliefs that the primary provider for elderly care should be sons and their wives are breaking down, while the claim for the right to social welfare, as well as a demand for expanding the government’s role for public support has received more attention. This will be called “defamilization of elderly care.”

Explanation:
and institutional>is/zed end-of-life care.

Could be paraphrased like that. Otherwise, 'reducing or relieving the burden' of end-of-life care within the family is as much as a pathological, family-alienating misnomer as 'dispensing with the blessing' of such a nursing alternative.

PS una 'apuesta por' means a bet or tip placed on sthg., rather than a 'shift to/wards'.

Example sentence(s):

USA: The Delivery of Person-Centered, Family-Oriented End-of-Life Care
UK NHS: Care at home. You may not need to move away from home to receive care, as end of life care can often be provided at home.

Defamilialization

So it’s a challenge for our economy and our welfare state to think about: how can we ensure the wellbeing of people who do not have the two-person marriage – if we can’t assume people have that to back them up, economically speaking, and especially their children. But we’ve been going in that direction for a long time. The introduction of Social Security, retirement for older people, the public education system, we’ve been making investments in people to make them less reliant for their survival on their families for a long time, and in the long run that’s an important part of modern society. There’s a downside and an upside to that. The upside is people can act according to their own ambitions and desires individually, with more freedom than they could in the past. The downside is the expense for state institutions of caring for them and their children. It’s a complicated set of tradeoffs, and I think the important thing to realize is we can’t build our policies around the assumption that everybody and their parents are going to be married forever. And if we do that we’re going to leave a lot of people out, and put a lot of people at risk for real hardship.

With regard to defamilialization as the key concept for the study of social orders with regard to family (Lohmann and Zagel, 2016), there are several reasons why it is unsuitable for studying societal redistribution in terms of family. First, defamilialization applies a one-dimensional perspective on the family while the analysis of redistribution needs to differentiate between family forms as shown in the last paragraph. Hence we expect societal redistribution to (greatly) differ across family forms within a society (Naldini and Long, 2017; Saraceno, 2018). Second, defamilialization studies in general aim to identify “real world variations of familialism” (Leitner, 2003: 354), and consequently are interested in policy outcomes (Esping-Andersen, 1999

The turn to optional familialism through the market: Long‐term care, cash‐for‐care, and caregiving policies in Europe

Cash‐for‐care (CfC) schemes are monetary transfers to people in need of care who can use them to organize their own care arrangements. Mostly introduced in the 1990s, these schemes combine different policy objectives, as they can aim at (implicitly or explicitly) supporting informal caregivers as well as increasing user choice in long‐term care or even foster the formalization of care relations and the creation of care markets. This article explores from a comparative perspective, how CfC schemes, within broader long‐term care policies, envision, frame, and aim to condition informal care, if different models of relationships between CfC and informal care exist and how these have persisted or changed over time and into which directions. Building on the scholarly debate on familialization vs. ******defamilialization****** policies, the paper proposes an analytical framework to investigate the trajectories of seven European countries over a period of 20 years. The results show that, far from being simply instruments of supported familialism, CfC schemes have contributed to a turn towards “optional familialism through the market,” according to which families are encouraged to provide family care and are (directly or indirectly) given alternatives through the provision of market care.
